When establishing the Water Mansion, Chen Hongyu also deployed many secret exploration arrays in the waters he was responsible for.
Nowadays, the monks under Xuanling Island implement wartime management regulations. Unless there is an order, they are not allowed to circulate in the spiritual network. Once discovered, they will be punished as spies.
Therefore, normally no other Xuanling Island monks would enter the Jiayou Three Sea Areas. Even if an order was issued, it would pass through the communication circle of Shuifu.
The Qi-training monks under the Shui Mansion would not touch these magic circles even if they had tokens on them, so they could only be the Xuanming Sect monks who had sneaked in.
After all, in today's spiritual vein network, those third-level sea monsters have become extinct.
With his mind spinning, Chen Hongyu quickly summoned other monks and sent a message to the monks who were out for inspection through the formation token, asking them to rush back to Shuifu as soon as possible.
After transmitting the message to Xuanling Island through the mansion's communication circle, Chen Hongyu left the water house and headed towards the sea area where the touched circle was located.
In the dim sea water, there were all kinds of sea tribes swimming in it. Chen Hongyu was extremely vigilant, and while he released his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation for several miles around, he was thinking in his mind.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Hongyu arrived three or four miles away from the area where the touched magic circle was located.
"Be careful, those Xuanming Sect monks may not have left yet!" Chen Hongyu warned carefully before heading towards the magic circle.
Just after walking a few feet from the original place, a wave of formation fluctuations was seen. In the blink of an eye, a formation shrouded the surroundings for several miles.
Waves of cold air quickly formed, shrouding many monks in them.
"Array!" Chen Hongyu's spiritual consciousness transmitted the message, and he saw the monks taking out array flags one after another and pouring mana into them.
A formation instantly stood upright from the spot, blocking the invasion of the cold air.
At this time, looking around, you can see four Xuanming Sect foundation-building monks appearing in all directions, each holding a formation flag.
Of these four Foundation Establishment Stage monks, it can be known from the auras leaking from their bodies that there are at least two Crystal Transformation Stage monks, and the other two are also Liquid Condensation Stage monks.
At this time, one of the Crystal Transformation Stage monks was seen walking forward a few feet, transmitting a message with his spiritual consciousness.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, we have heard of your name for a long time, so we should release your third-level perfect red dragon spirit beast as soon as possible!"
The words he spoke were filled with a sense of confidence that he was in control.
"It's okay to know my identity and that of Chen Jiao, but the meaning of actually coming directly to the Jiayou Sanhai area to set a trap is completely different.
The Lingmai network has just been established a few days ago, and the area planning has just been completed, and the news that I am in charge of Jiayou San can be directly leaked. It is obvious that someone in Xuanling Island spread the news."
"Could they be from the He family?" A thought suddenly appeared in his mind, but Chen Hongyu quickly overturned it: "The Chen family should not be so stupid.
But one thing can be confirmed, there is a traitor of a high level on Xuanling Island."
Seeing that he was deep in thought in the formation, the monk who spoke earlier spoke again: "Are you still thinking about delaying time?
This time, I, the Xuanming Patriarch of the Xuanming Sect, personally took action to hold back the Yuanshen Patriarch of Danxia Mountain, and there were also six Jindan-stage Patriarchs who personally took action. Your support from Danxia Mountain has not yet reached Chaotic Star Sea, so this operation must be foolproof.
I advise fellow Taoist fellows not to resist. In order to deal with Fellow Daoist Chen, we specially dispatched two crystal-transformation stage monks and brought a set of peak third-level formations."
As he spoke, the monk increased the power of the magic circle. Chen Hongyu, who was standing in the magic circle, could see the traces of cold air left on the shield of the magic circle.
After hearing what the monk said, Chen Hongyu released Chen Jiao from the Red Cloud Cave.
Although Chen Jiao's skills have been modified and can adapt to the environment in the sea, and he can use his full strength in battles in the sea, after all, he is a fire dragon, so he still stays in the cave to practice on weekdays.
At this time, Chen Jiao had just arrived in the sea, and he understood the current situation with a glance of his consciousness.
"Sir, what should I do?"
"I have sent the message back to Xuanling Island a long time ago, but these people are so arrogant, I am afraid something will happen.
And according to what he said before, six golden elixirs were dispatched this time. If what he said is true, the support from Danxia Mountain has not yet arrived, and Xuanling Island will probably suffer heavy losses."
As he spoke, he saw a sudden huge noise coming from the lapis lazuli vein dozens of miles away. Such movement was obviously caused by the Golden Core Stage monks.
"It seems we can't delay it any longer. We need to break the formation as soon as possible and look for opportunities.
Otherwise, if this delay continues, there may be some changes."
Hearing this, Chen Jiao had a thought in his mind, and the diamond bracelet came in front of Chen Jiao's head and became several feet in size. Chen Jiao made a sharp roar towards the diamond bracelet.
Suddenly, the roar of the dragon came out, causing the Xuanming Sect monks who were controlling the formation to be in a trance for a moment. Taking advantage of this gap, one person and one dragon hurried out of the formation, while the other monks stayed in and continued to manipulate the formation.
Array.
At this time, those monks had recovered a long time ago, but in an instant, he and Chen Jiao were enveloped in the formation again.
Chen Hongyu's figure kept moving through the sea water, rushing towards one of the liquid condensation stage monks, hoping to quickly fight and kill a monk as soon as possible.
A "bang" sound was heard as the Red Cloud Sword was blocked back by a thicker mace in the water, and the dull sound spread for dozens of feet.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, your opponent is me!" At this moment, he saw an extremely strong crystal-transformation stage monk standing in front of him.
The sturdy monk took back the magic weapon and quietly scanned the scratches on the mace, feeling a little distressed.
"I hate these second-generation immortals the most. A monk in the liquid condensation stage uses a fourth-level magic weapon."
With anger in his heart, he moved towards Chen Hongyu while using the magic technique.
He has always majored in the physical body and is very good at close combat. Now he has a formation to hold back part of Chen Hongyu's energy. As long as he is allowed to deal with Chen Hongyu, he can be defeated in a moment.
After all, the gap in realm is there. He is already at the eighth level of the foundation stage. Moreover, although Chen Hongyu has a fourth-level magic weapon, he may still have some advantages in long-distance combat, but he may be powerless in close combat.
With his mind turning, the big man could see that after resisting the formation attack, Chen Hongyu blocked his spell with great difficulty.
"That's all!" The strong monk became more and more contemptuous in his heart, but he also became more and more cautious. After all, a monk with a high background like Chen Hongyu usually has a lot of trump cards.
When he came to Chen Hongyu's side, the mace flashed and he hit Chen Hongyu hard!
Two talisman seals appeared, and suddenly there were streams of water all around him, and at the same time, chains of condensed spiritual water came towards him from the Xuanyuan water droplets above Chen Hongyu's head.
Seeing this, the strong monk finally felt relieved.
"At this point, Chen Hongyu still only has these methods. It seems that all his trump cards have been exhausted in the attacks in the past few days, and he has not had time to prepare new trump cards."
After concentrating his energy and blocking several spells, the big man hit Chen Hongyu with the mace in his hand again.
The huge mace was swung down hard, creating a gaping crack in the water, and the surrounding seawater was pushed away.
At this moment, the strong man suddenly saw a smile on Chen Hongyu's lips, and a familiar talisman appeared in his hand.
